	No matter what you eat be it raw, cooked or a commercial diet, do you have supplements added to your diet? If so, what and why? Scoob and I get fish oil capsules almost daily as we could always use the extra fat and we don't eat enough fish in our diet to provide omega 3. We also get kelp and alfalfa a couple times a week to make up for those trace minerals that may be lost with freezing the meat and also to help make up for the loss of nutrients in our food supply. Scoob also gets glucosamine and chondroitin daily to help keep his joints healthy as he's aging.

	Right now we don't get any becuase we went through so many changes in our diet that mom wanted to let things settle. However, she is so happy with the way we are feeling and looking that she has decided that for now, we will just not use any (except for the stuff I'm on for my bladder).

	Last month I had a carnassial abscess and had to have the tooth pulled. I hope I never have to have another tooth pulled! It made me really sad. Mom said it happened because she didn’t know better and fed me kibble the first 10 ½ years of my life. She felt really bad. Me and Cloud have been raw fed for about 10 months now. Anyway, about the supplements, after my surgery mom gave me cod-liver oil and virgin coconut oil to speed the healing. I was back to normal in no time! Sometimes we get a little coconut oil if our meat that day is really lean. We get fish oil capsules if we eat chicken, or else my skin gets dry. That’s about it.

	We get several different supplements in our food: B Complex, Salmon Oil, Vitamin E, Raw Glandulars, kelp, dulce, pysilum husk powder and Taurine. The dog doesn't get any supplments, though.
